Gaston Day is the place to be this week for basketball junkies wanting to get a look at future college stars.

The inaugural Upward Classic will feature six Division I signees or commitments, plus a host of other uncommitted Division I recruiting targets.

The Patrick School, a perennial prep power from New Jersey (formerly St. Patrick), headlines the tournament set for Wednesday through Saturday. The Patrick School brings a St. Joseph’s commitment in 6-foot-7 senior forward DeAndre Bembry and an uncommitted 6-3 senior guard in Isaiah Lewis, who has been offered by Kansas and Memphis among others.

The Patrick School will face Kennedy Charter in the tournament’s opening game 8:30 p.m. Wednesday. Kennedy Charter features its own Division I target in Lucas Johnson, a 6-5 sophomore guard who is rated top 40 nationally in his class by Future150.

The action continues Thursday, when the other six boys teams and four of the six girls teams hit the court starting at 3 p.m. and ending after the 9 p.m. tipoff between the North Gwinnett (Ga.) and Vance boys game.

Thursday’s 6 p.m. boys game between Oldsmar Christian of Florida and Northside Christian of Charlotte might have the most star power. Oldsmar Christian features four Division I prospects, including three seniors who have committed or signed: 6-8 senior forward Tony Nunn (North Texas), 6-11 senior center Glen Pierre (Georgia Southern) and 6-1 senior guard D.J Bowles (Wichita State). On the other side, nearby Northside Christian is led by Army commitment Luke Morrison, a 6-8 senior forward. The Northside roster includes three other prospects, including Gaston Day transfer and Gastonia native Keyshawn Woods, a 6-4 junior guard.

Host Gaston Day tips off at 7:30 Thursday against Berry Academy, whose top player is 6-4 senior guard Cazmon Hayes, a Delaware commitment. Gaston Day is led by sophomore guards Derek McKnight and Trevor Anderson and junior forward Troy Henderson.

Thursday’s nightcap at 9 pits North Gwinnett against Charlotte Vance. North Gwinnett has a pair of sophomore guards (Tobias Howard and Kamaran Calhoun) who are drawing Division I recruiting attention while Vance is led by sophomore guard Malik Massey.

The girls field is made of Gaston Day, Kennedy Charter, Northside Christian, Berry Academy, Kings Mountain and Vance.

Games Friday and Saturday tip off at 90-minute intervals beginning at 10:30 a.m. and extending through 7:30 p.m. The girls championship is set for 6 p.m. Saturday, followed by the boys title game at 7:30.
